When shaving your legs, do you shave up or down?

up, it's easier to hold the razor that way

Up. That gives you the closest shave. The only time you would shave down is for really thick hair (like guys' beards) and you want to prevent ingrown hairs. But leg hair is so soft, and your skin will be super-smooth if you get a closer shave.

against the way the hair grows give a closer shave, but shaving the way the hair grows is suppose to be gentler on the skin and leave less irritation.

Shave in the direction of the hair growth in order to avoid razor rash and ingrown hairs.

doing it down just wrecks ur skin..
